Ship energy services
Improving the fuel efficiency and environmental impact of your
operations
To meet the challenge of rising fuel costs and reduce the impact
of fuel use on the environment, you need an energy efficient fleet
that complies with best practice performance monitoring and fleet
management processes. Our range of ship energy services is
specifically aimed at helping you to increase your fuel efficiency
and achieve these operational goals.
How can Lloyd's Register help?
We can help you to reduce the fuel consumption of existing ships
by conducting energy surveys and analysing a range of data
collected during operation. The range of techniques we employ are
listed below.
Ship energy audit
We carry out a systematic and holistic investigation, encompassing
both the technical and non-technical aspects of your ship's
operation. This involves a comprehensive data analysis combined
with a shipboard audit. The main objective is to identify a set of
achievable objectives for attaining better energy efficiency. We
analyse the feasibility of each potential objective from both a
technical and an economic point of view. We then produce a detailed
report, which sets targets for the future operation of your ships
and is designed to help your fleet managers and chief engineers
achieve an enhanced operational fuel efficiency.
Ship performance monitoring
We examine your ships' technical systems, main machinery and
operational profile to identify potential deviations in performance
from design or best practice. Following this, we provide full
reports, recommending specific corrective actions that will help to
improve the performance of your ships and machinery.
Fleet energy management support
We can also help you with any energy-related aspects of fleet
management that are beyond the current resources of your team. For
example, we can provide advice on the environmental issues related
to fuel use, on alternative energy-efficient technologies and on
best-practice operational standards.
Design optimisation support
We can also audit the design of your ship against energy efficiency
standards before it is built. To help ensure energy efficient
procurement, we can carry out a ship specification review prior to
the contract date with the shipyard. We can also carry out an
energy performance assessment during commissioning trials to ensure
that it complies with specification.
Alternative technologies
We can work with you to assess the energy efficiency and
environmental impact of a range of alternative fuels and
alternative propulsion and auxiliary technologies.
